The working environment in banks is comfortable. Working hours have been regular banker's hours but that has changed. Many banks are focusing on customer service and their hours have changed to suit their clientele. They are often open through the early evening hours and on Saturday mornings.

If you are thinking of a career change and want to go into banking, it is a great field with lots of entry-level positions. To climb up the ladder in retail banking you need to refresh your computer skills and obtain some education. Many employers have education benefits and they will pay to go to school if it is in the business. That is a great perk if you are considering several places to apply. Here are two job descriptions. One is for an entry-level position and the other describes the duties of a manager or supervisor.

Bank Teller
  • Bank tellers are icons of the banking industry. Tellers make up more than one quarter of all banks' employees.
  • Some of the responsibilities include cashing checks, accepting deposits and loan payments, and processing withdrawals. Bank tellers also sell savings bonds, accept payment for customers' utility bills and charge cards, process necessary paperwork for certificates of deposit, and sell travelers' checks. Some tellers specialize in handling foreign currencies, or commercial or business accounts.
  • In many ways, this is the quintessential customer service job.
  • Technology continues to play a large role in the job duties of all tellers. In almost all banks, for example, tellers use computer terminals to record deposits and withdrawals.
Attention to detail is a must. Good communication skills, as you will be speaking with customers while you are working, and you must have good basic math skills.

There are financial opportunities in retail banking and the jobs are not always found in banks. Retail banking includes credit unions and financial lending businesses. They all work with the individual customer to provide service. The outlook growth is good for the positions mentioned above which include teller and 2 or 3 managerial and supervisory positions. The pay is very basic at entry-level, but the good news is, you have places to go in banking. To advance the requirement is education and some years of experience.
